Modern Art Deco Walnut Sofa Set
At OE-FASHION Furniture, we engineer the Modern Art Deco Walnut Sofa Set as a study in contrasting rigidities. The design utilises a structural timber shell to define the spatial footprint, providing a clean, hard-edge back for open-plan layouts, while the interior offers deep-seated comfort for luxury residential lounges and executive reception areas.
Aesthetic Structure & Proportions
The defining feature is the continuous “waterfall” arm, where the high-gloss veneer curves seamlessly from the vertical side panel to the horizontal base. This curvilinear form softens the visual mass of the unit. The exterior side panels feature deep diamond tufting, introducing a rhythmic tactile variation that contrasts with the glass-like smoothness of the lacquered wood.
Construction Logic & Material Behaviour
Creating the curved timber shell requires advanced substrate manipulation. We utilise high-frequency steam-bent plywood moulds to form the core curves, ensuring the veneer does not crack under tension.
- Veneer Sequencing: The walnut veneer is slip-matched to maintain a consistent linear grain direction along the horizontal planes.
- Metal Integration: The horizontal gold strips are not surface-mounted but inlaid into routed channels. This flush detailing prevents snagging and ensures the metal remains integral to the frame structure.
- Upholstery Substructure: The seat suspension utilises a webbed steel coil system, topped with multi-density foam to prevent the “puddling” of fabric often seen on long bench cushions.
Functional Integration & Ergonomics
The backrest pitch is set at a relaxed 105 degrees, optimized for conversational seating. The arm height is calibrated to support the natural resting position of the elbow without forcing the shoulder upward, a common ergonomic failure in high-sided sofas. The external timber shell also acts as a protective barrier, reducing fabric wear in high-traffic commercial or hospitality projects.
Installation & Project Constraints
The 3-seater unit is a single structural entity and cannot be disassembled. Verification of elevator depth and door turning radii is critical. For restricted access sites, we can engineer a split-frame chassis joined via concealed mechanical connectors.
Bespoke Manufacturing (OEM / ODM)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the wood finish resistant to scratches?
A: We apply a UV-cured polyester lacquer which offers high surface hardness (9H), but like all high-gloss finishes, care should be taken to avoid abrasive objects.
Q: Can the fabric be removed for cleaning?
A: The seat cushion covers are removable. The fixed back and tufted arms require professional upholstery cleaning.
Q: Do you supply the matching coffee table?
A: Yes. The circular marble coffee table with matching veneer base is available as part of the suite configuration.
